First up, our Montego Fretwork rug for the dining room. I ordered it from Joss and Main when I saw I could score the 6'7" x 9'6" rug for about $100. I love the color and how it feels under foot. You'll also notice we rotated our dining room table 90 degrees. I love how the flow of the room feels since the switch-a-roo went down. {Please disregard the curtain sewing mess on the table, and the blinds waiting to be installed on the floor. Our house has been in disaster mode since we began working on a bunch of projects last weekend.}
And now for the guest of honor...meet Owen. I found this lil' guy at Home Goods for $9.99 and he is by far one of my favorite decorations in the house. I'm not sure which room he'll end up living in, but for now, he's had a front row seat to all the mayhem while hanging out on the dining room table.
This weekend I'm hopefully going to wrap up all the furniture painting we started last weekend...and my fingers are crossed we'll get our new curtains hung and hemmed. Perhaps I'll get a closet or two organized? My goals may be a bit lofty considering I'm driving to my sister's in CT on Saturday to see my adorable nephew celebrate his 2nd birthday party.
Oh, and I DO NOT know how I let this fantastic news go so long without sharing...my hubby and I were blessed with a second nephew when my sister-in-law gave birth to her bundle of joy on January 2nd. {Remember the baby shower I helped to throw back in October??} Here is my handsome hubby holding our too-cute-for-words nephew a couple weeks ago!
And here he is hanging out in his pack n play. {Sorry the picture is so dark and fuzzy. It was taken on my phone in a dark room...but I think his cuteness shines through anyway!!}
So what do you think? Is the new rug and layout working for the dining room? Does Owen warm your heart like he does mine?
Hope you all have a great weekend! :)
